We went back to Louisiana for Christmas. We spent Christmas eve with my family. Christmas morning we drove to our house in Gonzales, rolled up our sleeves and got to work. We painted the bathroom, hallway, and all three bedrooms a neutral color. It took us 2 and a half days but it's done. Woo hoo. Now, we have to pressure wash and paint the outside, do some repairs to the shop and replace all the electrical outlets, switches, and face plates to spruce up the place. Oh, I also forgot we have to get the carpets changed in the bedroom. Then, FINALLY, FINALLY, we can put it on the market!! Needless to say, our Christmas wasn't too special but it was productive. The best Christmas present would be to sell the house.
For New Year's eve, we were back at our house in Texas. Our neighbor invited us over. He had a Texas size BBQ trailer and BBQ'd ribs, chicken, and smoked a 17 pound ham. There was enough food for the entire neighborhood and then some and there were only 20 people there. Reminds me of what my dad used to do (cook for an army for just a few people). We had a really good time and got to meet a few of our neighbors and then some.
